Following recent research, the Salisbury Magna Carta is now believed to have been just copied out by a local scribe and not actually sent out from the Chancery in London. However, despite that, surely the people of Wiltshire deserve greater access to this document.

The Lincoln Magna Carta has been loaned out to Bury St Edmonds (2013) and to St Albans (2014) as well as to America and Australia.

If Lincoln is so generous and proactive in promoting Magna Carta by loaning their copy to exhibitions around the globe, surely the very least Salisbury could do is loan their copy to County Hall in Wiltshire for a county exhibition.

Surely Wiltshire tax payers have a right to expect this after representatives from across Wiltshire travelled to Salisbury to celebrate Magna Carta in June, supported financially by Wiltshire Council.

Salisbury Cathedral needs to make the Charter accessible to all the residents and council tax payers of Wiltshire by arranging its exhibition in County Hall in Trowbridge, at least by 2016, if not earlier.
